Oh crap. I just got a spine chilling wave of anxiety. Thank the Lord and chew Wellbutrin like candy! The last thing I need before a weekend road trip (hockey) is a mini-melt down.
I'd better put some perky tunes on and watch Monty Python on Youtube.

I did a bunch of running around and even went downtown to get Zach's SIN number, only to find out that I've had it for 5 years. I opened a pocket of my wallet, and there it was. What a dorkwad!!!!

I have to get ready to go to Bangor on Friday. Zach has a tournament and poor moi has to drive. Hello Marden's and Kohl's and what ever else I find. The boy needs some shorts. Children's Place in the USA has 'husky' sizes. Hopefully I can find him a few pairs. Or I'll scour every store in sight, you know, for the boy.

John said the rink is cold, so I'll bring my Quechua blanket and some wool socks.

Ahhhhhhhhh. Only 6 more months and I'll be winging to my beloved Bolivia!! The photo above was taken in a gorgeous village called Mojon K'hasa (mow-hon ka-sa). We got to watch the sun rise at 12,000 feet. The hike UP to the trucks was 1000 vertical feet. Not including the switch backs. It was step-step-breathe for about half an hour. Absolutely brutal. Then a lovely Quechua man jogged up the trail carrying our generator on his back. It was unreal!! I am so looking forward to saying "Dios Tata benday si su chune" again. 10,000 Bolivianos to whoever knows what that means.

I worked in the front garden today. It hurts like crazy to move, but the 13 different iris plants waved hello. :)

On the perils of self important , legalistic Christians...

...the woman was only being Biblical. In Narcissist chapter one and verse four, we read: “other people’s sins are to be shared publicly in a spirit of concern so that they might turn from their ways and become as thine self.” Also, that person was separating your sins as far as the east is from the west, which geometrically is Australia.

The proper response to such actions should also be Biblical. I believe it was in Paul’s Epistle to Epicureans the where he said “bite me.”

Grace is so cool. With it we can even forgive the worst of sinners and other church leaders.

Is this the day? Is this the day my translations come and I can FINALLY query my manuscript??? Is waiting on a little old lady a huge lesson in patience?? Ohhhhh I think so. I have a query all ready to go, but I need a simple paragraph's worth of Navajo to wrap everything up neatly and tie it with a bow. I think God must spend alot of time waiting for me to get it together.

Lots and lots of money. I wish I had the moolah to do everything that we NEED. I need a fairy godmother. Or maybe some faith that all will work out how it's supposed to work out? Yup, I need to keep praying over my trip to Bolivia, my various projects, and my friend Jean Jones.
